When Zhang Yuhang heard that his third brother was visiting, he suddenly knew why his third brother came to see him.
When they first met, Liu Shirui walked up to him first and said, "Husband, third brother has been waiting for you at home all afternoon."
Zhang Yuhang nodded, then looked at his third brother, stepped forward and saluted: "I didn't know that third brother was coming, but I didn't go far to greet him. I kept him waiting for a long time."
Zhang Yifeng seemed a little unbelievable when he saw his younger brother dressed up like this.
Is this still the younger brother that he always cared for?
My whole person has changed a lot.
Seeing that his third brother was silent, Zhang Yuhang turned to Liu Shirui and said, "Madam, third brother and I will go to the study to discuss. You arrange for the servants to prepare a banquet. Third brother will have dinner at my place later."
Liu Shirui agreed quietly and went out to make arrangements.
"Third brother, please."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly and followed Zhang Yuhang to the study.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but asked: "When did you go to Supervisor Tiansi? Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me?"
Seeing his third brother's appearance, Zhang Yuhang also smiled inwardly.
He knew that his third brother really had his own interests in mind. No one knew what kind of place Jian Tiansi was like than they, the children of noble families like them.
Entering there is equivalent to throwing dirty water on your resume, and you will not be welcomed by civil and military officials.
Sitting on the chair, Zhang Yuhang made a cup of tea for himself and his third brother each, and then said: "This is His Majesty's imperial edict, and I can't do anything about it, but even if he is the Supervisor of Tiansi, he has officially become an official, and it is better than what I have always done. It’s better to stay here and be a son-in-law.”
Zhang Yifeng also sighed after hearing this. He himself is just the head of the household department now. Although he is favored by the minister of household department, he is powerless in many things.
"That's all, you're not a child anymore. Now that you've made your choice, do it well and don't embarrass me."
Until now, he still regards his younger brother Zhang Yuhang as someone who needs to be protected by him, so he never pretends to be anything in front of this younger brother.
Zhang Yuhang nodded, then changed the subject and asked straight to the point: "The third brother is not just looking for me this time because he wants to see me. It should be the second prince who asked you to come."
Zhang Yifeng said: "Yes, I heard that you arrested the two young masters of the Qiao family and the Guo family today, and even brought trouble to the Ministry of Justice. What's going on?"
This afternoon he received a message from the second prince. As soon as he heard that his younger brother actually went to Supervisor Tiansi, he rushed to Xingyong Houfu in a hurry. He stayed in the Houfu all afternoon waiting for Zhang Yuhang to come back. Naturally, he didn't know He is currently dealing with the three-court trial that is making a lot of noise outside.
"The two people arrested today are not the real targets. The real purpose is for the southern border incident in the eighth year of Jingping..."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuhang told his third brother everything, including everything that happened now and the truth about Chidi Qianli in the southern border.
Zhang Yifeng listened to all this in disbelief. He never expected that there would be so many inside stories about the tragedy in the southern border, and many of the people involved were actually ministers of the DPRK and China, some of whom even drank and talked with him every day. Colleagues.
"You mean they did all this, and now the second prince even personally came forward to protect them?"
Zhang Yuhang took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "You should know this very well, otherwise why did he ask you to come to me personally after I arrested two young men? As for looking for me in life, it is not really for Let's have a meal at my brother's place.
"I don't object to this. I came to you really to take the two of them out, but in that case, you, Supervisor Tiansi, have already mastered the truth of the case that year. Why are you throwing it out at this time?"
Zhang Yifeng is not a fool. He can guess Jian Tiansi's purpose, but he doesn't understand why it is at this time.
Too many things had happened recently, and he couldn't react at the moment.
Zhang Yuhang said: "Because Master Sizheng has been enduring for too long, he has no patience anymore, but there is no opportunity. I arrested those two young masters today, and Master Sizheng just used the trick, so all this happened.
As for me, I originally entered Jian Tiansi just to do something. Even if it doesn’t happen today, it will happen tomorrow. As for why I do this, first, it’s for myself. I want to work in the imperial court, and I want to get Lord Sizheng and others. To gain His Majesty's trust, you must have outstanding results.
The aristocratic family is a huge stone in His Majesty's heart. If you want to achieve results, there is nothing faster than directly becoming an enemy of the aristocratic family. And my identity and conditions are also valuable for His Majesty to take advantage of.
Second, it’s for you. I once asked you to leave the whirlpool of Kyoto, but you didn't listen to me. I don't want to see you become a prisoner one day. Therefore, even if I force you to leave, I have to let you go before the ship of the Second Prince sinks. Get off the boat first. "
Zhang Yifeng was stunned. He couldn't believe that this was what his younger brother said. If he didn't leave, he would force him to leave. Is this still the younger brother he protects?
Sensing the expression of his third brother, Zhang Yuhang did not hesitate and continued: "Don't look at me like this. People need to grow up. Although this incident in the south is very difficult, for many people it is the end of the world. A disaster, but a good opportunity for you.
Everyone is attracted by the current three-room trial. If you take the opportunity to be transferred out of the capital and sent to a local place to be a parent officer, you will not encounter greater resistance.
Only by truly going deep into the people can you know how precarious the Zhou Dynasty is now.
You can use what you have learned and the influence behind you to benefit one party, accumulate experience, and wait for changes.
Next, there will be countless bloody storms in Kyoto. If you leave early, it will only benefit you. If you stay, you will only become a target in the eyes of others, and the gains outweigh the losses. "
Hearing these words, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He is a smart man, so he could naturally hear a lot from these words, and asked: "Is Supervisor Tiansi really going to reappear?"
"This is for sure, because this is not only His Majesty's decision, but also because the current court has long been corrupt, and His Majesty wants to revive the imperial court and clean up the world.
However, even though he now holds military power, he cannot raise his butcher knife against these aristocratic families. Doing so will only provoke huge changes. The current court and the current Great Zhou cannot withstand such huge changes.
Therefore, if His Majesty wants to kill someone, he must do it openly, kill without saying anything, and slowly erode the influence of the noble family by boiling frogs in warm water. In this case, what else is more powerful than the sword of Jian Tiansi? Is it useful? "
